Nice and instructive experience, a detailed explanation before we walked in the sled for two. Afterwards a welcome hot drink and snack in a powerful hut. There is also a very interesting shop with beautiful souvenirs.

Beautiful Sami Farm. The owners welcome you with courtesy and tell you with (right) pride their traditions and their life as reindeer breeders, giving visitors the opportunity to offer food (moss and lichens) to the reindeer. The reindeer sled ride is definitely touristy but still enjoyable. Inside the property is the inevitable Kota where coffee/tea and biscuits are served, comfortably seated on wooden benches around the central brazier. Very nice also the souvenir shop located within the property. Many special items of handicrafts Saami at honest prices.

Our Family was there, and it was amazing. We were able to feed the reindeers, to drive the reindeer sledge, with them and get known, a bit, to the culture sami culture. I would love it to come again as soon as possible. Thank you to this friendly and open People!

Found the place on the internet first, then checked out the tourist info centre in Ivalo and got it recommend too, so decided to go.
Got there a bit late about 12:30 or so because of the problem with the car. When I got to the car park, where the tourist bus was already parked, I was.approached by the member of the staff who informed me that I have to leave. He then told me that the farm is for group visits only. So I decided to leave empty-handed (after 1 hour drive from Ivalo), but I had to sort out the car first. Meanwhile, when I was busy with the car, my wife decided to take few pictures. Immediately the same person came to us again and told me to leave immediately because "she taking pictures and this service is not offered..." So I had to drive a malfunctioning car with a 1.5 year old baby on board in a very dangerous winter conditions to public road to get off the farm property.
Bottom line: very negative experience. Do not go even if they offer you cash.
Problems:
- poor information;
- rude and ignorant personnel
